Process features:

  • Deposition rate and refractive index control independent of wafer loading
  • Uniform optical film properties
  • Very dense films at low temperatures
  • Low damage deposition onto temperature sensitive substrates

Additional Notes:

  • Dual Frequency available for film stress control (13.56MHz and 50-460kHz)
  • Accuracy of measurement of low stress values is highly dependent on:
    • the accuracy of wafer curvature measurement both before and after film deposition
    • the quality and pre-stressing of wafers used for stress measurements
    • and requires a thick film (>5000Å) to produce a detectable/accurately measurable wafer curvature
  • Results given above apply to Silicon substrates.
  • Cleaning and conditioning of the chamber may be required when switching between processes, to obtain optimum repeatability. A minimum conditioning thickness of 2000-3000A is recommended. Further advice on chamber cleaning/conditioning strategies will be provided by OIPT based on customers’ applications and intended use of system.
